The aim of this thesis is to study the anaphoric occurrences of the French anaphors TEL and VOILÀ in a corpus made up of journalistic texts and their translations into Spanish. Our approach is semantic as well as pragmatic. According to the results, the target texts show a tendency to reproduce the anaphoric virtualities of the original text by using appropriate translational solutions of the target language. However, a sencondary translation tendency can also be detected: translating the anaphoric operation by using more explicit linguistic devices. These results confirm the idea that a translational behaviour should be regarded as a gradual notion, which is never a fully steady conduct.
